He looked like a farm-hand, with his sweaty shirt, his dusty coat, his begrimed face. And when he kissed Lenore he left a great smear on her cheek. "That's a harvest kiss, my lass," he said, with his big laugh. "Best of the whole year!" "It sure is, dad," she replied. "But I'll wait till you wash your face before I return it. How's the harvest going?" "We had trouble to-day," he said.
"But I shall teach him not to take what isn't his. He don't know better now. He's been ill-used all his life." "You don't seem over well used yourself," said the man. He saw that Clare's clothes had been made for a boy in good circumstances, though they had been long worn, and were much begrimed.
To Selwyn, as he toiled begrimed with smoke and sweat, came running a boy, young Nelson Hector, whose father, a lawyer, was in charge of a gun in position on one of the hillsides outside the town. The boy had stolen away unnoticed, and crept through the Maoris to find out for his father how things stood.
When he saw only nine wagons straggling along over the space of a mile, covered with dust that had been settling on them for weeks, with oxen lean, footsore, limping and begrimed with sweat and dirt, and teamsters in clothes faded, soiled and ragged, his pride sank to a low level, and he did not want to go into town with the wagons.
A thick, heavy tumbler, so cloudy and begrimed as to be almost opaque, was filled from a large jug placed conveniently upon a sack of potatoes, and passed from one to the other, each absorbing little or much as the thirst was upon him, and passing it on to his neighbor.
And you could not take a photograph through the closed windows even if you wanted to. They are too begrimed with dirt." The officer did not say a word but continued to eye me narrowly. I began to feel uncomfortable before that piercing gaze, so I decided to floor the aspiring detective working so zealously for the Fatherland and to point out the danger of jumping at conclusions.
By dint of hoisting and scrambling he succeeded at length in gaining the surface of the ground. Vague groanings came from the mass of stones piled not far away. As he approached these noises, they became more distinct. Finally, he discovered the body of a man wedged between two large blocks and covered with a piece of gas-pipe. The body was begrimed with soot and mud.
I felt superior to those for whom I was building. In a coarse way I suppose it was a reflection of some artistic sense something akin to the creative impulse. I can say truthfully that at the end of that first day I came home begrimed and sore as I was with a sense of fuller life than so far I had ever experienced. I found Ruth waiting for me with some anxiety.
Try to picture the workshop, lighted at either end, and dark in the middle; the walls covered with handbills and begrimed by friction of all the workmen who had rubbed past them for thirty years; the cobweb of cordage across the ceiling, the stacks of paper, the old-fashioned presses, the pile of slabs for weighting the damp sheets, the rows of cases, and the two dens in the far corners where the master printer and foreman sat and you will have some idea of the life led by the two friends.
As the retreat continued, the rear-guard being always closely engaged with the Malays, who pressed upon them incessantly, Mr Linton came up, begrimed with powder, and shook hands. "This is a horrible affair, doctor!" he said sadly. "Don't say horrible," said the other, cheerfully. "We shall fight our way through to the river." "I hope so," said Mr Linton. "But we have scarcely any provisions.
